Yet another government report is adding to the evidence that the BLM wild horse and burro program is irretrievably mismanaged and broken as the agency continues on a collision course with disaster in the costly and cruel roundup of an astounding 1,100 wild horses from eastern Nevada beginning November 1st.

The horse advocacy world is reacting with shock at the news that the Equus Film Festival has named Protect the Harvest, an industry group that promotes wild horse roundups and horse slaughter, as its title sponsor for its annual event, which will take place in New York City on November 17-20, 2016.

The Wild Night Gala, hosted by Camille and Chris Bently and the Bently Foundation to benefit the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign on October 19, 2016 was an extraordinary evening of entertainment, art, food and drink in celebration of America’s iconic mustangs and burros.

October 16, 2016 ... David Phillips, reporter for the New York Times has produced yet another disappointing article that fails to look beneath the surface of the BLM’s claims that wild horses are overpopulating and its hands are tied in dealing with this “problem.”

Amidst massive public outcry, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) last week stated that it was rejecting a recommendation to kill up to 45,000 wild horses and burros in holding facilities. "We are not going to sell to slaughter or put down healthy horses," a BLM spokesperson told the New York Times.
